| Abstract | Furniture workers are exposed to many adverse factors, leading to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This paper is a cross-sectional study designed to identify ergonomic risk factors related to musculoskeletal disorders among wood furniture workers. Convenience sampling was used to select 231 wood furniture workers from Binh Duong Province. A five-part questionnaire generated data, including demographics, work organization, psychosocial factors, work conditions, and self-reported WMSDs. Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and hand?arm vibration were measured to assess ergonomic exposure. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for WMSDs. WMSDs prevalence in at least one body part during the past 12 months was 72.7%. Highest WMSDs prevalences were in the lower back (36.4%); shoulder (32%); and hand/wrist (27.3%), respectively. Factors significantly associated with reporting WMSDs (p-value <0.05) were body mass index (odds ratio (OR), 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.38); smoking (OR, 3.19; 95% CI 1.49-6.82); absenteeism from training (OR, 2.63; 95% CI 1.28-5.39); awkward hand posture (OR, 3.27; 95% CI 1.29-8.26); high psychological demands (OR, 2.32; 95% CI 1.12-4.78); low autonomous decision-making (OR, 3.59; 95% CI 1.78-7.22); and low social support (OR, 2.66; 95% CI 1.15-6.15). These findings suggest that furniture workers at risk of WMSDs might be helped by implementing occupational health preventive programs focusing on ergonomic risk factors. |
